Chapter 979
Holding Noah, rence raised his eyebrows. "Of course, for looking after you."
Ste doubted because William wouldn''t say once again in particr if it was so.
They must hide something from her.
rence caught her hand. "Let''s go."
Noah was sullen in Ste''s arms on the way home, pouting and taking the toys William gave him.
Ste lulled him for a long time before he was asleep.
rence said after a while, "Call me when you finished. I will pick you up."
Ste paused, "Will you be back to work?"
"Right."
"Got it."
Soon, they arrived at the hotel. Ste waved with Noah at him. "Take care. I am gonna go."
rence smiled, "Okay."
He dialed Nathan after Ste entered and said, "I need to see Mrs. Carter."
"Okay, I will soon arrange it."
An hourter, Mrs. Carter waited nervously in a bar, looking around with her hands ced on the table.
Finally, a man came over.
Seeing the young man, she stood up in surprise. "You are Mister…"
"rence Conrad."
Immediately, she fell back to the chair with her eyes widened.
rence strode in, sitting opposite her. "You should know why I was here, Mrs. Carter. Let''s cut to the
chase. I need an exnation about Channing''s paternity test."
Mrs. Carter averted her eyes. "I don''t know what you are talking about."
rence snorted, "I should see you in your husband''s ward."
"No!" Mrs. Carter freaked out. "He has no more time to live. Don''t disturb him."
With a neutral tone, rence leaned in the chair slowly. "That''s why I have given you so much time.
Emmett won''t be able to see her fatherst time because of guilty if you insist on hiding the truth."
Mrs. Carter covered her face in grieving. "It''s all my fault."
rence took the cup while waiting for her to finish talking.
A long while after, Mrs. Carter sobbed, "Miranda had came to me 20 years ago when the Steward
family got in trouble. She wanted me to bring up her daughter. However, I refused her because of the
scare. I would never forget her eyes on me when she left."
It was full of her disappointment and grievance.
"I heard that you and your husband were good friends with Mr. and Mrs. Steward."
Mrs. Carter nodded and wiped her tears. "Miranda, Charles, and Emmett''s father were students of Mr.
Thomas. We are less noble than the Steward family, but they are so kind that they help us a lot in all
aspects."

"Many yearster, Charles contacted Emmett''s dad and Mr. Thomas first, his teacher and best friend.
But I…"
"20 years ago, Mrs. Steward suffered a lot and found you in all means. You were thest straw to her
back then. However, you were afraid to upset Charles, so you refused her."
Mrs. Carter acquiesced in tears. "It was no doubt that the ident was artificial. I can''t… My husband
would know it if I helped her. What if he asks Charles for the truth? We must have suffered the same
ruins."
"I know what you are worried about, but why?" rence levelled up in indifference. "You didn''t tell
Charles that Mrs. Steward and her daughter hade to you."
Mrs. Carter was triggered, trembling all over.
"Because you are selfish and impassive. Rather than hoping for his family reunion, you pondered how
to hide the reality that she once asked for your favor. You wanted everyone to think that Mrs. Steward
immediately married Jeffrey and delivered a baby after the explosion. Then no one would be skeptical
about her past life."
"So you changed the result of Channing''s paternity test, right?"
"Stop, please."
"This is the truth." rence got up.
Teardrops kept rolling down on Mrs. Carter''s face. Miranda''sst eyes came to her mind for all these
years as long as she closed her eyes.
As if it was engraved in her life.
Although she knew Charles was alive and looked for his wife and kid, she kept it secret. How could she
say it out?
Could she admit that she caused them into the abyss because of her fear?
rence strode out in silence and dialed a number. "I won''t have any dissatisfaction with you for how
you ndered me in front of Ste. After all, it''s gic."
After that, he hung up.
The door opened as soon as rence left. Mrs. Carter was surprised to see theing one. "Why
you…"
Emmett''s father looked haggard in silver hair, with his eyes tearful. "How could you do such a thing?
Even if you didn''t dare to help her, you couldn''t hide it so long, and you even changed the result."
"I''m not on purpose and regretful, butter I can''t find her anymore." Mrs. Carter shook her head.
Emmett''s father leaned against the wall and murmured, "I thought it was Charles who caused the
tragedy, but unexpectedly, it was you."
"No, I…"
Mrs. Carter insisted on exining, but finding Emmett''s father fell.
She rushed over to give him first aid.
He opened his eyes weakly. "I never believe their words of suspecting you, but it turned out that the
culprit was indeed you. It was too ridiculous..."
